Thor of the Highlands

Behind his godlike appearance, lies a wounded human heart.

Hilda Aland Callan bears the name of two great warriors and both their legacies. Her father is a Viking and the most feared warrior Hilda has ever met. Her mother is the daughter of a Scottish Laird and the most famous warrior-woman in all Highlands. The young lass is hotblooded, fearless, and seeks glory in battle until those ambitions… cause the loss of her beloved mother.
In an attack on her clan, Hilda’s reckless actions lead, to the loss of her mother, and the lass is unable to forgive herself. Desperate for redemption, she begs her father to let her find the mysterious men who attacked them, and with his permission, embarks on a dangerous journey. Hilda’s quest leads to discovering a group of warriors led by a giant who looks more like a monster than a man.
Standing taller than her father or any other person she has ever seen, the fearsome brute yields a sword that is the size of a regular man! Fighting him is certain death, but Hilda’s fiery heart considers dying from his blade an honor. Without hesitation, she attacks the worst foe she has ever encountered, only to find out that he is unwilling to fight her and that he is not part of the men who attacked her village.
Maxwell Black is simply a rogue mercenary warrior, and after hearing that for an ungodly sum of money he could be her ally, Hilda changes her mind; she decides to use the help of the towering man to hunt down her enemies. Maxwell agrees to join her, but even Hilda’s warriors are scared of him as if he turned against them, it would take at least half a dozen men to fight him. However, Hilda is the only one who can see that behind the warrior whom many of her men already nickname as Thor, the Norse God of thunder, lies a human heart.
What she does not know, however, is that just like her, he seeks revenge for the loss of a loved one and blames himself for the tragedy. When the two meet their enemies and finally have a chance to get revenge, Maxwell suddenly loses all his strength and lays down his arms. Before she can understand what happened, Hilda is locked up, and the battle is lost. Knowing that only with Maxwell’s help can she escape, Hilda has very little time to make him reveal the secrets of his past, hoping to unlock his heart before they both find a horrible death…
